Chinese Mid Autumn Festival or Moon Cake Festival

The committee have plan another event.......The Moon Cake festival.

We plan to have a Moon Cake Festival Party (Steam Boat makan) and Jam Dancing with the Group in Kota Kemuning at Kota Kemuning on 13th September 2008 at 6pm.

There are numerous version of Moon Cake Festival story and one of the most known are as follows;

The story took place around 2170 BC.

The earth had ten suns at that time. They burned the ground.

No crops can grow so that people suffered of the infertile.

Houyi sympathized to the human, so he decided to shoot down the sun but leave one to benefit the human. After he shot down the suns, he became the hero.

He had a beautiful wife names Chang’e, they lived happily together. Houyi had a lot of apprentices; they followed him to learn hunting.

One day, on Houyi’s way back home the immortals emperor gave Houyi a pill for granted eternal life as a reward to shot down the sun. He warned Houyi, “Make no haste to swallow the pill.” But Houyi loved Chang’e very much and did not want to leave her, so he gave the pill to Chang’e and let her store the pill in a safe place.

Chang’e stored the pill in her jewelry box. But one of Houyi’s apprentices Peng discovered this secret. He decided to steal the pill.

One day Houyi and other apprentices went to the mountain. Peng pretended he was sick so that he can stay at home.

When all the people went to the mountain but Chang’e stayed at home. Peng intrude in Chang’e’s room and forced her to give him the pill.

Chang’e knew she cannot fight over Peng, so she swallowed the pill immediately. After she swallowed the pill, she felt herself was floating in the air and flying far and far away.

She did not want to leave her husband, so she stopped at the moon which is closest to the earth. After Houyi knew what happened, he was very angry and sad.

He looked up to the night and called Chang’e’s name. He discovered that inside the moon there is a lady’s shadow which looks like Chang’e, so he ran and ran and tired to reach the moon.

He failed due to the wind.

bentong trip

ok, some suggestions, it is better to go on Sat because it is going to be a full day trip, save Sun for rest. We have to sart early, preferably reaching there not later than 8.30am, good food sold out early, so may have to leave BRP at 6.30am.

Breakfast has no problem, we can hantam at the hawker center. we can do potluck for lunch, KFC should pleased the kids, BBQ is fun but who will do the burning is the big question.

After breakfast we shop at the morning market for ginger and soya xi yao, then we head for the waterfall, it may take us 40mins to get there, so arriving at waterdfall should be around 10 or 11.00pm, play a while then makan and play again and maken and play again...and don't forget to remeber to come back home, our BRP...

Big thanks to those that have visited my kampong and your patience with the lousy driver and tour guide is much appreciated. I have to apologize for missing the fun part of the trip that is the fish market, due to the wrong timing given by the restauran owner, by the time we got to the place, the show was over, sorry lah guys......

The next outing event will be BBQ at a very nice water fall about 1 and 1/2 hrs drive from KL, good food at the morning market there, we can swim and enjoy BBQing there.
